APC SMT2200RM2UC SmartConnect 2200VA Rack Mount UPS Battery Backup

ADRIAN T.: We purchase 2-3 a year and they always work great

PME: This is my third unit like this and all 3 are working great. I like them because they have a long run time if the power goes down for a while and they use inverters to generate the 120v when it is running. They just quietly grind away in the background with no issues.

AmazonReviewer: Bought this, plugged it in, let it charge up, then plugged in our electronics and it just works. It has worked flawlessly for a year now. I have a 65" plasma TV, wifi router, modem, and all associated home entertainment gadgets plugged into it. We never know if the power goes out while streaming a movie or playing a game in a very rural area where power fluctuations and outages are common. I didn't mess with any settings, other than to silence the beep, and I don't have it connected to a computer. It is silent until it starts running off battery, then there is a slight fan noise. Power on, plug&play. This is a beast of a ups.
Tip:
Buy the 30 to 20amp adapter for this unless you want to swap out your wall plug.

B. Engel: I bought this in addition to having a full-house generator, because we suffered a continuous brownout (different than a blackout) for many hours, which mean the generator didn't kick in but various electronics suffered. The goal with this was to protect the most essential stuff in these situations.

As a small UPS backup battery with true sinewave protection, which essentially addresses this problem, the unit appears to work flawlessly thus far. So in terms of its main function, by all means, it does what it says it does. Since that is its core function, I am awarding it four stars.

However, I have caveats with respect to the industrial roots clearly expressed through the design language. As one example, the opening salvo for the little screen in the front is a menu asking you to pick a language, which is reasonable, but heaven forbid you can't clearly see and interpret the symbols on the four buttons underneath and mistakenly select a language in which you are not fluent as a result. Life after that that can get... interesting... until you figure out how to navigate the not-so-intuitive menus in that foreign language to get it back to...

Pros
Can handle large loads of power
Easy to connect and register
LCD Digital Display
8 plug outlets
Takes up small space

Cons
HEAVY!!!
The outlet plugs on the back are very close together, it's tough to use all the plug outlets
Pricey

I operate a small business as well as do tons of research with my custom built computer. I have dual 32 inch monitors that takes up a lot of power. I am quite sure I draw more power than most. My previous UPS back up battery served me well until I got the monitors, now 3 times a month I get an overload on my UPS and the noise won't go off until I unplug all outlets. It's grown to be a pain.

Until this arrived.

First impression - It's HEAVY!! Once you get it out the box you see it has a small form factor which is good. It can lay under the desk or to the side. I like that it has 8 outlets but they are so close together you can't plug anything that has a large plug without taking up two spots.

I plugged everything I had in my 10 yr old UPS and the load is only at 25% on this. I love it. It was easy to register, I haven't used much of the advanced features...

Den B: The unit was very easy to install and setup. It was purchased to replace a similar product. Just had to power down the old unit. Install this new one, and power it up.

Justin Randall: Very simple to install and start using. I'm happy knowing my equipment can gracefully power down when utility goes out.
